How to add atributes and terms to affiliate products automatically while or after import?

[e-orlov]

I guess, this issue has multiple webmaster working with WooCommerce and Datafeedr. The issue: affiliate products are imported with product attributes from the products feed. These product data is limited and not very descriptive. I.e. in my verticale, from the whole product data coming with imported product I can use only name, price, boolean sale, salesprice, image link and description. But, beside of this, I have around 10 product attributes, and products in each category have an own set of attribute terms.

So my question: how can I automatically apply a special set of attribute terms to all products I import into certain category? Automatically is here enormously important - because product import works automatically and I don't know, when a new product was imported.

The only idea I have, is, to run a scheduled MySQL query in regular time intervals, like daily, and apply attribute terms to products, having specified category ID.

Do mayby somebody has any better idea?

Hello Eric,

I'm afraid, I'm not clearly expressed my need. The documentation you linked explains, how to import attributes and terms, which are part of the merchant's product data delivered with the feed.

My need is to apply attributes and terms, which are not delivered with product feed. Like this: I want, that all products I ever import with this query will always have an attribute/term combination case diameter: 41mm, which is not included in the product data.

Hi

OK, I think I understand. We don't have a method of doing that but you may be able to modify this code so that it works with Attributes instead of Tags.
